Hilaire Belloc - ACS Season III

[Komnenos1234]

Awesome

[madengable]

A spine-tingling performance of Belloc by K. O'Brien! And to think I just accidentally tuned in to the EWTN Theater of the Word. I am now a fan.

[MariaCGMF25]

I love both Belloc and Chesterton! Yes, that particular poem was a bit venomous, but the wit was sharp.

[Oswulf1]

Belloc, being an educated man, would doubtless have said 'DESpicable', not 'deSPICable'.

[Archonymus]

Fun!

Well he was christened Hilaire in France, but almost all his friends called him by the English version of his name. He made up a little song about it:

"You with the teeth that hardly fit,

And you with the idiot grin,

Open wide those heavenly gates,

And let poor Hilary in..."

[ecclesiaprimus]

Him, & Chesterton are such a pair of Brits. Wow!

[Mariusioannesp]

Wait, is it really pronounced "Hilaire"? I was told once that it was pronounced like "Hillary". Which one is right?

[Mariusioannesp]

Belloc is the man! He attacked a Don with a frickin' poem!

[OriamendiMexico]

Chesterbelloc!

Its hard to understand why people would like one but not the other.
